This article was previously published under Q119212 SYMPTOMS
When you select Examples And Demos in Word Help, Word displays one
of the following error messages:
Microsoft Help - Unable to run the specified file.
Word Cannot Start Examples and Demos.
CAUSE
These errors can be caused by any one of the following:
- HyperCard version 2.1 or later is not installed on the Macintosh.
- You performed a Typical Install, which does not install Examples And
Demos.
- The files necessary to run Examples And Demos have been deleted.
(These files are installed in the Tutorial folder located in the Word
folder.)
WORKAROUNDMethod 1: HyperCard version 2.1 or Later Is Not Installed on the Macintosh
To work around this problem, copy HyperCard to the hard disk from the
HyperCard disk that ships with the Apple System disks or CD-ROM.
NOTE: HyperCard needs 2000 kilobytes (KB) of memory available when used by
Word.
Method 2: A Typical Installation Was Used to Install Word
Use the steps to reinstall (under "Examples and Demos Files Have Been
Deleted" below) to install Examples And Demos.
Method 3: Examples And Demos Files Have Been Deleted
Use the Setup program to remove Examples And Demos (even though these files
are already deleted from the hard drive), and then reinstall Examples And
Demos to the hard drive.
To uninstall Examples And Demos, follow these steps:
- Run Microsoft Word Setup from the Setup folder in the Word folder.
- Click the Add/Remove button.
- Under Installed Components, click the triangle to the left of online
Help. Select Examples And Demos. Click Continue to remove this
component.
After Maintenance Setup has removed Examples And Demos, you can reinstall
them. To do this, follow these steps:
- Run Microsoft Word Setup from the Setup folder in the Word folder.
- Click Add/Remove.
- Under Components Not Yet Installed, click the triangle to the left of
online Help. Check Examples And Demos. Click Continue. Setup
will prompt you for the necessary disks to reinstall these files.
